That's the marina I was talking about! But I also saw it on Fisher Key Maria, with breakers and plugs that obviously went underwater and marina...
Maybe you had a brown out on the shorepower and voltage dropped and you started drawing a lot of amps too fast for the breaker to trip. #4 wire...
No, the large surface area of the terminal, allows the heat to disapate, much like a heat sink. You could have a strong crimp, where the wire is...
Here you see people do all kinds of stuff. I've seen them drop their shorecord end in the water, shake it off and plug it right in, I've seen...
Call Pipewelders in Ft. Lauderdale.
Why on earth would the U.S. get involved? They've failed to get involved for over 50 years, and the limited involvement they did, was detrimental.
The crimp could have been tight, but it might not have had enough surface area contacting the wire to carry the load. Also make sure your loads...
Don't install Raymarine, they are POS. Simrad first choice, furuno second choice.
Goodluck even finding 316 in those countries!
Stupid idea. The people in Cuba won't even know that they're out there. Unless they plan on trying to get Cubans to defect AND get 12 miles out...
It wasn't crimped properly. The crimp was loose, that's why the terminal looks perfect where it screwed on the panel, but fried aft of the terminal.
In the U.S. we never have breakers on the Neutral. Only the line(s). All neutrals go to a shared terminal strip.
Yes, the tiny vent could be the problem. I would put an elbow on it so it isn't open to the sky and the opening ponts downward. Or even just...
With the electricity here, you HAVE to use a single pole breaker for 120 volts. The way our electricity works is you have 1 line (hot wire) and 1...
They're great boats, everything Pascal said I'd agree with. You're going to want to run it 20 knots or above to stay on plane........why not just...
You will get 120 volts on one side of the panel, no telling which side until you plug it in.
I too have used Galliot dozens of times, you can turn South pretty quickly once through the cut, but yes, it does stack up there.
YUP, Tiara isn't too bright when it comes to balancing the load. I had a new one melt the wires behind the panel because all of the A/C's were...
Ralph posted a picture of a panel from a 2005 44' Tiara Soverien (post #16). I have run one, maybe 2 of those boats before, and currently care...
You can run some 120V stuff as long as you monitor load. However, you will only have power on one side of your panel or the other, not the entire...
